Reservoir Dogs [DCP]

Director: Quentin Tarantino

1992 / 99min / DCP

Six stylish hoods with colorful sobriquets, all strangers, come together for a heist and then, scattered following a shoot-out with the cops, reconvene in an abandoned warehouse to flush out the undercover cop in their midst in Tarantino’s feature debut, which made the ex-video store clerk an overnight arthouse celebrity. A film of brilliant banter and bracing brutality, further distinguished by its nonlinear narrative and its stacked cast of tough-guys, featuring Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi, and Lawrence Tierney, a battered veteran of ’40s noir.

Part of '90s Noir
